Pre war Schwinn

Bought this local today. Best me and 450redrider can figure it's a 37? Does anyone have any ideas?

37 sounds about right to me. the fork has been changed. looks like you hit the jackpot with that seat and stem.

It could be a '37 from the looks of the chainguard. I don't think that seat came with that bike. Seat is from a '37 Schwinn SA 207 or a '38 Deluxe cantilever autocycle. High dollar seat!! I don't think the neck, fork, or truss rods are Schwinn. Schwinn had a similar neck but it was aluminum. So, a parts bike with some darn good parts. Gary

The neck does have all as bolts. I'm still kicking myself for not getting this before he did

Thanks for the info guys.

Schwinn had a similar neck but it was aluminum.

These adjustable stems were produced in steel and aluminum. For a long time it was accepted that the steel were Autocycle and aluminum were for lightweights (Continental) and sold as accessory. AFAIK somewhat recently more than one original Autocycle has surfaced with the aluminum stem.

I think for now I'm going to clean it up and do alot of research on it and ride it.Haven't done any thing with it yet but it looks like decent paint underneath the blue.

It looks like the fork is from a Rollfast or a Hawthorne.

I have a fork that would be correct for this bike in my stash.
